I think this could be a helpful thread. I could of used this when i was building. Here are the things i learnd wile building my kit:
1. Follow the instructions as they are.
2. Dont go on to the next step until the current one is done!
3. Loctight all medal to medal screws
4. TAKE YOUR TIME! If you rush it will take more time in the long run. Might even cost you some money

Thats all i can think of for now. If anyone else wants to chime in or ask any questions feel free to.

how many of us are those who would rather build first what we hate the most?

I'll do diffs and shocks first so that everything else is ez street.

That's a really good point Kemo. There's always a day pause between finishing the chassis and doing the shocks for me. God I hate building shocks.

The most important tip I can give anyone is to use the correct tool for the job and also, to check the net for manual addendums and updates, plus experiences of others who have already built the car.
